Chelsea continue unbeaten start with win over London City
Chelsea FC Women continued their impressive run in the FA Women’s Super League (WSL) by securing a solid 2-0 victory over the London City Lionesses, marking their unbeaten start to the season. The match, held at Kingsmeadow, showcased Chelsea’s dominance early on, with summer signing Ellie Carpenter making an immediate impact. Carpenter, a talented right-back known for her pace and attacking prowess, scored the opening goal just 11 minutes into the match. Her well-placed shot from inside the box not only highlighted her skill but also set the tone for Chelsea’s performance throughout the game.
As the match progressed, Chelsea maintained control, displaying a mix of solid defense and fluid attacking play against a determined London City Lionesses side. Although the Lionesses managed to create a few chances, Chelsea’s defense held firm, with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger making crucial saves to keep a clean sheet. The game was sealed late in the second half when substitute Sam Kerr, a key figure in Chelsea’s attack, found the back of the net in the 82nd minute. Kerr’s goal, a deft finish following a well-timed assist, underscored her importance to the team and her ability to change the dynamics of a match off the bench.
This victory not only reinforces Chelsea’s position at the top of the WSL standings but also highlights their depth and talent as they aim for another title this season. With a blend of experienced internationals and promising new signings, Chelsea looks poised to challenge for supremacy in women’s football. The team’s unbeaten streak reflects their strong form and resilience, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead as they continue to build momentum in their pursuit of domestic and European glory.
